Sounds like we have the same friend. But he is in a facility in FL and there are so many demons to batttle and all I can do is watch and fret and stay a friend. But he knows I am a friend and I'm sure the same goes for you.

"We pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living" - a quote from the real Mother Jones.

Glad to see things have been going well for you. But yep, you're so right. We have to be prepared to rely on ourselves, and then welcome support from friends when it comes. I used to feel like I was being betrayed by friends all the time, but eventually I learned to accept that everyone has their own issues and problems and I can't expect friends to be there for me on command all the time. My first source of support has to be myself.

Much love,Larry
